Monophysitism is a Christological doctrine that asserts Jesus Christ has only one nature (mono = “one” and physis = “nature”), which is entirely divine. This belief was declared heretical by the early church for denying the full humanity of Christ.

Split in the Church:

• The rejection of Monophysitism caused divisions, leading to the establishment of non-Chalcedonian churches, such as:
  • The Coptic Orthodox Church.
    • The Syriac Orthodox Church.
    • The Armenian Apostolic Church.
